Artem Anisimov: Signs minor-league PTO
Anisimov agreed to terms on a professional tryout agreement with AHL Hartford on Tuesday, AHL Insider Tony Androckitis reports.
Anisimov spent last season in the minors with AHL Lehigh Valley for which he tallied 19 goals and 17 assists in 55 contests. Even if the 35-year-old center signs a permanent deal with Hartford, he won't be eligible to be called up by the Rangers unless he were to ink a two-way NHL contract. Still, Anisimov has 771 games of NHL experience and could be an intriguing option if the veteran forward shows he still has some gas left in the tank with the Wolf Pack.

Artem Anisimov: Signs with AHL club
Anisimov (lower body) signed a professional tryout agreement with AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Tony Androckitis of theAHL.com reports.
Anisimov was injured while in camp with the Flyers on a PTO and is continuing to work his way back to 100 percent.

Flyers' Artem Anisimov: Still not ready to play
Anisimov (lower body) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Devils, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Anisimov remains out, and he's also on a professional tryout, so he would need to sign a contract before he's eligible to play in the regular season. He is unlikely to sign until he's healthy again, and there's been little information on when that might happen. Prior to the injury, he was pushing for a fourth-line job.

Artem Anisimov: Inks KHL deal
Anisimov agreed to terms on a one-year deal with KHL club HC Lokomotiv on Wednesday, per KHL.com.
Anisimov was in training camp with the Avalanche on a professional tryout agreement but was unable to earn a permanent contract with the club. Instead, the 33-year-old will return to the KHL for the first time since 2012-13, when he garnered 29 points in 36 games. At this point, this will likely mark the end of Anisimov's time in the NHL, which would see him eventually retire having played in 771 games for the Rangers, Blue Jackets, Blackhawks and Senators. In those outings, Anisimov generated 180 goals, 196 assists and 1380 shots while averaging 15:58 of ice time.

Senators' Artem Anisimov: Could move on in 2021
Anisimov has been rumored to be in KHL discussions, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Anisimov had a cap hit of $4.5 million in 2020-21, making it unlikely the Senators will ask him back unless they need to get to the salary floor. Anisimov has been the subject of KHL rumors, but agent Todd Diamond has said Anisimov's plan remains to play in the NHL in 2021-22. If he does stay in North America, a move elsewhere could get his assist numbers back to the point where he could be a decent contributor as a cheap option in daily leagues.
